```

### 11. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 12. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** src/agent-credential-store.mjs\#virtual:normalized:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@botbuddy/cli@1.62.1/src/agent-credential-store.mjs%23virtual%3Anormalized%3Around1>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.
